Bug#491963: jackd: Apps cannot access alsa MIDI ports, will not play MIDI events.

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

Package: jackd
Version: 0.109.2-3
Severity: important

First noticed this with qsynth. This will run very nicely with alsa. If
jackd is running, qsynth reported it cannot attach to any MIDI input port
(alsa-seq). No connection shows on the qjackctl connection pane and
trying to make the connection in there  has no effect and
repeated attempts can cause hangup.

This is apparently not a qsynth problem. Muse without jack so no audio can
handle MIDI in and out just fine. Muse with jack and audio cannot play MIDI
events to the MIDI out port chosen. No connection shows on the qjackctl pane
and attempts to make the connection there behave like the qsynth did.

These apps do not use jack-midi.
